SUMMARY: The work in the Bid Documents includes construction of 8 ADA curb ramps, and
sidewalk repairs at 11 locations. Two bids were received; the lowest was from Transblue, LLC from
Edmonds, Washington. While the bid cost from Transblue for the ADA curb ramps (Bid Schedules A
— D) was consistent with the Engineer's Estimate, recent experience with City construction on
residential streets indicates significant cost savings can be achieved if these ramps are constructed
using in-house staff. The projected cost savings for the sidewalk repairs (Bid Schedule E) is more
modest since the City would contract out the tree removal. In the Bid Documents, staff included
language to allow the City to adjust the project scope. The Staff recommendation is to award the
Sidewalk Repair work only (Bid Schedule E), and authorize amendments to the contract up to a total
expenditure of $107,000 to match the project budget.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Bid Tab 2) Contract 3) Sidewalk Repair Site Plans
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): This work is included in the Residential Streets
and Transportation Capital Budgets under ADA Sidewalk Improvements ($90K for curb ramps), and
Sidewalk Abatement ($70K for sidewalk repairs.) The project would combine these funds for
sidewalk repairs.
